One of ITV2’s most popular shows, The Xtra Factor returns this Saturday night and will continue to bring viewers the inside track on all the X Factor backstage gossip, complete with extra access to the Judges, Dermot and the contestants from The X Factor.

While Olly Murs toured America with One Direction, Caroline Flack set off on the Judges Auditions Tour as they scoured the country looking for the
next big singing sensation. A host of pop stars, including JLS, Alexandra Burke, Jedward and Westlife join her on tour to give their opinions on the contestants, as Olly lived the high life with her ex Harry Styles.

As The X Factor goes live from the studio later this year, Olly is reunited with Caroline and the dynamic duo give diehard X Factor fans the chance to grill the Judges as well as putting the contestants under the microscope to find out exactly how they feel about their performances, the Judges and each other. There’ll be special guests, viewer interaction via Twitter and Facebook, and maybe Caroline will even persuade Olly to sing….it’s the show that no X Factor fan can afford to miss.

Caroline says: “The Xtra Factor is the only place on TV where fans of The X Factor can get an ‘access all areas’ pass for the show without having to move from their chairs. It’s all about switching to ITV2 once The X Factor has finished and we’ll be there!”

Olly adds: “I can’t wait to get started on the Live Shows. I’ve missed my on screen partner in crime Caroline but we’ll be back together really soon. I hear the talent is amazing so I’m looking forward to meeting the finalists and to seeing Dermot and the Judges too. Bring it on!”
